This invention relates to a combined dolls valise and baby carriage.

The object of the invention is the production of a dolls valise, which can be converted to function as a baby carriage, and which can be moved by a handle member extending to the rear of the Valise, or which can be pulled by means of a strap or cord connected to the handle at the front of said valise.

The second object of the invention is the production of a valise which has detachable wheels journaled thereto.

The third object of the invention is the production of a dolls valise having a body portion with a cover and which body portion is adapted to hold a cradle, a doll and clothing for the latter.

In the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 shows a side view of the combined dolls valise and baby carriage in its open position; Fig. 2 represents a top view of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a right hand view of a fragmentary portion of Fig. 1; Fig. 4 shows a front view of the combined dolls valise and baby carriage in closed position; Fig. 5 shows a side View of a cradle; Fig. 6 is an end View of Fig. 5; and Fig. 7 indicates an enlarged section of Fig. 1 on the line 1, i.

The valise comprises the body portion l8, having the outer front wall Zil, the outer rear wall 2!, the outer side walls 22 and 23 and the bottom wall 24. With the body portion is also indicated the inner front wall 3, the inner rear wall 3! and the inner side walls 32 and 33. The walls 30, 3|, 32 and 33 extend above the walls of the outer body portion. The walls 22 and 32 are connected by the eyelet 36 and the walls 23 and 33 are connected by a similar eyelet 31. Through the side walls 22 and 32 extends the eyelet 33 and through the side walls 23 and 33 extends the eyelet 39.

To the front wall 20 is fastened the body portion 43 of a latch and its swinging locking member 44. A handle 55 is hinged to the wall 20, and a strap or cord 43 may extend from said handle.

The walls 32 and 51 are connected by the band 63, and the walls 33 and 58 are connected by the band 64. Through the top wall 59 of the cover extend the similar eyelets 65.

To the top wall 59 of the cover 58 is adjustably connected a hood ill, which comprises the normally horizontal member 13 and the member M inclined thereto. At the junction of the members'lB and i l is indicated the curved connecting portion it. In this instance the member id of the hood it is fastened to the Wall 55 of the cover Sibley means of the eyelets it The member id is cut away as indicated at E8 to form the suppcrting members 19.

By this means the cover 59 is sup ported and maintained in its open position. In the open position of the cover 595, as described, a child can move the valise and baby carriage by grasping the handle member 35 or by pulling the rope 55. When the valise is its closed position, as shown in Fig. 4, the frame having the handle member may be placed therein.
